If the whole of mankind is to be united into one BROTHERHOOD, all OBSTACLES must be removed so that men, all over the surface of the GLOBE, should be as children playing in a garden.

In retrospect, I've become WISE in playing my roles in TERMS of acting techniques. But looking at my old performances when I was YOUNG like what I did in 'My LOVELY Sam Soon' or 'Secret Garden,' there is something FRESH and daring that I want to emulate now.

No one will understand a JAPANESE GARDEN until you've WALKED through one, and you hear the crunch underfoot, and you smell it, and you EXPERIENCE it over TIME. Now there's no photograph or any movie that can give you that experience.

Planning a garden, park, BUILDING, or CITY shouldn't be DONE in an office.

The GARDEN has TAUGHT me to LIVE, to appreciate the times when THINGS are fallow and when they're not.

I've played Madison SQUARE Garden and Jones Beach several times, but I personally don't ENJOY those larger venues. I MUCH prefer THEATER or a performance space.

I'm in this absolutely gorgeous manor house with acres of quite BEAUTIFUL countryside. I've got trout in the RIVER, an ORGANIC vegetable garden, I've got my work 40 yards from my HOME. I don't MIND being criticised, but where are they criticising from? Which hut are they criticising me from, exactly?

I used to delay doing stuff that I just didn't want to deal with - things like putting the GARDEN hose away properly or doing the dishes right after dinner. Now I have this little VOICE in my head that SAYS, 'I know you don't want to do this, but just do it anyway.' In other words, there's far less stuff that I put off until TOMORROW.

We don't live in the GARDEN. We live far from Eden. EVERY LIFE is full of heartaches. Every life, FRANKLY, is unspeakably sad.

I WANT to thank all the fans for their support over the years. Keep supporting the Knicks, we're moving in the right DIRECTION here and we will be exciting to WATCH and competing against the best in the NBA. Come back to the Garden for those exciting GAMES.

I hope I will have a family. A house, with a garden, will be nice. And I WOULD love a barbecue! Just very simple things and a PASSION to WORK HARD.

My favorite was 'The SECRET Garden'. I LOVED it, and I think it's had a BIG INFLUENCE on all of my characters. 'The Secret Garden' is about transgressions and imperfect PEOPLE.

I LOVE my GARDEN. I love my privacy. I'm very fierce about it. I TRY not to let too MANY people into my home. That's my PRIVATE place.
